I was watching Diners, Drive-ins and Dives episode on Kansas City BBQ and I saw this rub that includes ground celery seeds. I like the flavour of celery seeds in my Memphis Coleslaw recipe, so I thought I'd make a batch of rub to see what it tastes like.

This is the basis of many of the rubs I make. Depending on what spices I have in the cupboard I'll add other things like dried rosemary, mustard powder, ground black pepper or ground coriander. Where possible, I toast and grind spices as they release more aromatics that way.
